***

I tried really hard for three straight days. I ignored his texts and his calls. I did talk to Alana and Christina. I was sure Becker put them up to it. Christina invited me out to lunch. Alana invited me to go to Hollinger’s Art Museum in town. I declined both invitations, using the excuse of being swamped at work. That wasn’t a lie.

Since I was finally out on my own, I had actual things to do. I was even a little excited to get the cheating spouse case. Matt argued with my father, telling him he was an idiot for sending me out alone on something like that. It turned into a heated argument. Matt was pissed. He stormed out of the office, shoving the door as hard as he could. I didn’t care. He could be pissed. I couldn’t listen to one more day of his lectures. I’d learned more about safety in the past couple weeks to last a lifetime. I was glad to be rid of him and his smelly car.

Justine was being downright mean because of my sudden withdraw from the Cole men. I tried to give her Becker’s number, telling her to go for it, and that he’d gladly give her Mason’s number. She wouldn’t take it. She said it would make her look desperate and only after his money.

YOU ARE! I politely reminded her in a text message with big, bold letters in red.

I was excited after the mid-week briefing to dig into Joni and Markus Reverie’s love life. Markus Reverie was some sort of big time stockbroker, and his wife Joni was, well, a kept woman if you ask me. She was gorgeous, but besides her looks, didn’t really have much going for her. Same old Lifetime Movie—husband works all the time, wife feels lonely, falls for her fitness instructor, yada, yada, yada.

Thanks to Matt’s help, I learned that Mrs. Reverie made a reservation at the Ski Aisle Inn. It was a very romantic, very expensive place to take a date. I knew it like the back of my hand. I’d sat in the parking lot across the road many times growing up, chasing cheaters just like this.

Sitting in the dark parking lot just before nine, I ate a fast-food cheeseburger and cold fries while talking to Justine as I waited for the two parties to pull up. I cursed the day I let her in on any of this. All she wanted to talk about was Mason and Becker—mostly Mason. Rolling my eyes when she asked if I’d talked to him for the fourth time that day, I watched the beautiful Joni Reverie step out of her car.

“Oh, gotta go. I’ll call you back.”

My blood started to pump, forcing adrenaline through my veins. Adjusting the hidden camera in my headlights, I clicked multiple images of her standing by the entrance while she waited for the black Lamborghini to pull in next. Nope. Not a fitness instructor, they don’t make that kind of money.
